GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (2022) SENTENCE STARTERS
โย You canโt keep making excuses for every one of [name]โs insane whims. โ
โย Genius always looks like insanity at first, though, right? โ
โย Hey, please stop fire-spinning inside. โ
โย I say it like I see it, no filter. If people canโt handle it, thatโs their problem. โ
โย Youโve got to stay off the Twitter. โ
โย Are you mocking me? โ
โย This canโt Shazam. Itโs a lamp. โ
โย Whereโs my speargun? I gotta pack. โ
โย He told me you havenโt left the bath for a week. โ
โย My mind is a fueled-up racing car, and I got nowhere to drive it. โ
โย I need danger, a hunt, a challenge. โ
โย Thereโs someone here for you! With a box! โ
โย Hello, stranger danger. โ
โย Excuse me, I love your accent. I had to try it. โ
โย You must be very special. โ
โย When you throw a murder mystery party, you do it right, buddy. โ
โย Heโs just staying here. Heโs going through things. โ
โย This rich-people shit is weird. โ
โย This is stretching my stride-taking abilities. โ
โย Okay, letโs stop talking and actually start hanging out and having fun. โ
โย Why is it on the roof? โ
โย I wanted to ask, what are you doing here? โ
โย Is this part of the game? โ
โย Iโve learned through bitter experience that an anonymous invitation is not to be trifled with. โ
โย You really try. I like that. You really make an effort. โ
โย You never know when shitโs gonna go down. โ
โย Iโm uncomfortable. Iโm gonna go for a swim. โ
โย Itโs true. I say it like I see it. โ
โย If you want to shake things up, you start with something small. โ
โย Thatโs the place where you have to look within yourself and ask, โAm I the kind of person who will keep going?โ โ
โย That was some real red-pill stuff. โ
โย Every single one of you is holding on for dear life to [name]โs golden titties. โ
โย Wow. That was so real. โ
โย Iโm a truth-teller. Some people canโt handle it. โ
โย Itโs a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth. Donโt you think? โ
โย Are you calling me dangerous? โ
โย A few cocktails before Iโm murdered. โ
โย Halle Berry! That has a kick. โ
โย This simple thing that you thought you were looking at, it suddenly takes on layers and depth so complex, it gives you vertigo. โ
โย Every time weโve gotten to the point where Iโm going to strangle you, you pull something like this, and itโs magic. โ
โย I wanna be responsible for something that gets mentioned in the same breath as the Mona Lisa. โ
โย This is reckless. And youโre gonna get somebody killed. โ
โย Itโs been a memorable weekend already, to be sure, but now the real fun starts. โ
โย Tonight, in this very room, a murder will be committed. โ
โย Well, to be clear, I mean, I didnโt know what a โblood diamondโ was soโฆ โ
โย What am I supposed to do now? Play Yahtzee all weekend? โ
โย I like the Glass Onion as a metaphor. An object that seems densely layered, but in reality the center is in plain sight. โ
โย Itโs like putting a loaded gun on the table and turning off the lights! โ
โย Well, Iโm out of here. Tomorrow morning. Gone. โ
โย Youโre murdering my vibe. โ
โย So you come here, in your Gucci flats, telling us that we owe you? โ
โย What do you want? A check? You want performative pity? โ
โย I want the truth! โ
โย But me, Iโm tired of pretending like youโre the victim in this game. โ
โย That changes things, right? โ
โย Have we ever not pulled through? Pulled it off? โ
โย We wonโt know the cause of death without an autopsy. โ
โย Listen, I must insist that nobody touch the body or disturb anything around it. โ
Are you treating this as a crime scene then? โ
โย Iโll pay you one billion dollars to tell me which one of them tried to kill me. โ
โย Oh, fiddlesticks. โ
โย Is that a speargun? โ
โย Oh, hellโs bells! Just, everybody, just stay here! โ
โย I can peel back the layers, I can take it to a point, but what lies at the center, only one person can tell us who killed [name]. โ
โย Youโre not in the bath again, are you? โ
โย Heavens, the dog ate the caviar again. โ
โย Itโs a stupid idea, right? โ
โย Listen, I want to be clear, huh? I am not Batman. โ
โย Any feelings of reverence or respect that you had for me when you crossed my threshold, buttress those feelings now. โ
โย Yeah, Iโm trying real hard to buttress, but this sounds nuts. โ
โย I shouldnโt be here. This is nuts. But Iโm here. So letโs do this. โ
โย The reality-distortion field ends here. I canโt let you do this. โ
โย Look me in the eye! You know itโs a lie! โ
โย You must be really great at Clue, huh? โ
โย Iโm very bad at dumb things. My Achillesโ heel. โ
โย This is your last chance to back out. โ
โย I think itโs really shitty what they all did to you. โ
โย I sold my soul for this. โ
โย I thought you said you didnโt drink? โ
โย Thatโs hard kombucha. Thatโs Jared Letoโs hard kombucha. โ
โย Weโre running out of time! โ
โย Please. Think of the danger here. You gotta step back and let me handle this. โ
โย I never email anything that I wouldnโt want to see on the front page of The Times. โ
โย I think maybe you should take up drinking. Youโre just killing it. โ
โย Something is just teasing the edge of my brain. โ
โย Oh, if I ever meet Jared Leto, Iโm gonna whoop his kombucha-brewing ass. โ
โย My therapist says this is a toxic relationship. โ
โย We will do what we always do. Deny, half-apologize, and then go silent awhile. โ
โย Please tell me you did not think sweatshops are where they make sweatpants. โ
โย I will do whatever I have to do to save myself, and he is my only lifeline. โ
โย This never happens in Clue. โ
โย Heโs a son of a bitch. Leave his ass. โ
โย I donโt feel sorry for him. He deserved what he got, and you are better off without him. โ
โย Please donโt kill me! Oh my God, please donโt kill me! โ
โย Iโm not trying to kill you, you crazy bitch! โ
โย It hides not behind complexity, but behind mind-numbing obvious clarity. โ
โย A veritable minefield of malapropisms and factual errors. โ
โย Oh, please. Just tell us who tried to kill me. โ
โย Nobody tried to kill you, you vainglorious buffoon. โ
โย What is reality?! โ
โย Does he keep a vial of poison in his tooth or something? Is that a rich person thing? โ
โย Oh, itโs so dumb, itโs brilliant. โ
โย No! Itโs just dumb! โ
โย You dim-witted, brainless jackass! โ
โย Your one murder, with any panache at all, and you stole the whole idea from me. โ
โย Wow! We got some big accusations flying around here. โ
โย You need evidence, and youโve got nothing. โ
โย Anywhere you go, itโs going to be your word against mine. How do you think thatโs gonna go? โ
โย Thereโs nothing I can do. Except maybe offer you some courage. โ
โย I hope your little bitch tantrum gave you closure โcause it accomplished nothing! โ
โย Youโre ruined. โ
โย Did you get the son of a bitch? โ
